For parts ac what does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the given measurements a side lengths b perimeter c areas?

For a, it tells you how many times the side lengths grew or shrunk.For b, it tells you that the perimeter grows or shrinks: scale factor times original perimeter.For c, it tells you that the area grows or shrinks: scale factor squared times the original area.


What is the relationship between perimeters and areas of similar figures?

Whatever the ratio of perimeters of the similar figures, the areas will be in the ratios squared. Examples: * if the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 1:2, their areas will have a ratio of 1²:2² = 1:4. * If the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 2:3, their areas will have a ratio of 2²:3² = 4:9.


How do you find the scale factor of a cylinder?

How do you find the scale factor from 9 square cm to 900 square cm?

The scale factor is 1:100 for the area. The linear scale factor is 1:10.


What happens to the area of a figure when the scale of the figure changes?

To find the new area, you have to multiply the original area by the square of the scale change. For example, you have a rectangle with adjacent sides of 3 and 4. Another rectangle has the same dimensions but with triple the scale. The original rectangle's area is 12. Multiply that by 9, which is the square of the new scale, and you get an area of 108. That matches up with the area of the new rectangle, which has adjacent sides of 12 and 9.
